Ok some one has to set up a northwest meeting

In the pipe line is a track day at tha historic Aintree grand prix circiut places will be limited as you have to apply to LRDC for a place.

I have been told Alfa have a good turn out on the day and we will be more than welcome.

Keep an eye on the Croft thread for application forms

want o have a go or just come and watch you knoe who you are out ther in the Northwest lets not fall behind all the other sections

Re: Historic track day

Although I'd much prefer it to be dry & sunny, in a sick & perverse kind of way I'm quite looking forward to a wet track day, see just how good these Toyos are in the wet

Of course, if it's raining I can be lazy & not change my wheels, which is a bonus

Re: Historic track day

Just doing final checks and fitted the fire extinguisher, just noticed one of my tyre side walls is abit dodgy another £74 then, still its better to be safe

I dont want Rain I spend to much time sideways in the dry but on the plus side its less tyre wear

From what I've seen of the place, if we go grass tracking at any more than 30mph, we'll end up in Happy man's back garden
